1 This ITBudget report was created for Jamie Guevara on 14 Mar 17. Assessment name: 2017 Sample ITBudget Report Healthcare Providers vertical industry comparison To be successful with digital business transformation and optimization, CIOs and IT leaders must communicate the financial story of IT using mature budgeting practices enabled by actionable financial transparency. The ITBudget tool provides a vehicle to compare IT budget levels to the industry as well as translate IT costs into business services. ITBudget Structured Approach This report contains total IT investment, cost and staffing comparisons against published Gartner Benchmark Analytics industry standard IT metrics.

Note: Occupancy costs, include fully burdened costs for the facilities being used by the IT staff supporting the enterprise. Some examples include office space, furniture, electricity, maintenance, property taxes, security and office supplies. Occupancy costs for space dedicated to IT functions, such as the data center, including power/heat management and raised floor, are also included.

Some examples include office space, furniture, electricity, maintenance, property taxes, security and office supplies. Occupancy costs for space dedicated to IT functions, such as the data center, including power/heat management and raised floor, are also included. What the IT Spending/Budget Includes, From an IT Functional Area or Activity Perspective The data center (for example, mainframes, servers, storage and facilities), end user computing devices (for example, desktops, laptops, tablets, thin clients and smartphones), voice and data networks (including, but not limited to, voice and data transmissions, fixed and mobile telephony, and internet access services), IT service desk, and applications (for example, development and support). IT support functions, such as the office of the CIO supervisory management finance and administrative costs, such as purchasing asset management process management and marketing of IT services. Dedicated data processing equipment used in operations, production and engineering environments examples are computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and standard computing equipment used in devices for factory automation, and tablet PCs used by healthcare professionals. What the IT Spending/Budget Does Not Include Costs for technology or services that are resold. Examples include salaries for developers involved in building commercially packaged software, or IT skilled employees who provide services for the organizations' external clients. Operational technology that is: Equipment built or purchased for non data processing purposes, but which has computerized components. Examples include robotic manufacturing machines, automated teller machines, specialized point of sale devices, scanners, blood pressure monitors and sensors on a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. Appliance like or proprietary data processing equipment that has a single (typically industry vertical) purpose and cannot be used for other general purposes. A typical example is a computer that can only control the flow of electricity through the power grid. Since it cannot be repurposed, it is not included in our model. Note that other systems that gather data from this type of computer and can be used for other purposes would not be considered operational technology and, therefore, would be in scope of our model. Depreciation or amortization expenses, which could lead to double counting from an accounting perspective. Internal "cross charges" and corporate allocations related to large, significant and/or unusual one time expenses, such as reductions in workforce, redundancy, relocations, retirement, human resources and chairperson's salary. Business data subscriptions and services (such as Bloomberg), even if they are managed by the IT organization. Business process outsourcing services (BPO) where organizations outsource entire business functions such as payroll or benefits management. This includes cases where the BPO vendor provides access to software, and also guarantees that the outcomes of their services will meet business requirements, such as tax and withholding regulations. Note: where a vendor provides Software as a Service and only guarantees that the software will perform as specified, then this is in scope of the IT spending/budget. Traditional outsourcing of IT functions, for example servers and , are also still within the scope of IT spending/budget. IT Spending as a Percent of Revenue IT spending as a percent of revenue is the most recognized measure of total IT investment relative to top line business results. The value of this measure is that it assists in identifying the competitiveness of investment levels relative to the most fundamental measure of business performance: revenue. While this has been viewed as a must have and readily available metric for many enterprises, common misuses include: Looking at a single year rather than multiyear trends Basing decisions on the assumption that this figure will not change in the future, sometimes dramatically Failing to understand and address changes in the numerator and the denominator of the calculation Considering just the average rather than the range of values or the upper and lower quartiles IT spending as a percent of revenue alone does not highlight why spending levels are at, above or below average (which are often misinterpreted as "good" or "bad"), nor does it reflect IT's contribution to business performance. Thus, IT spending as a percent of revenue needs to be considered in tandem with other IT intensity measures, as well as the context of business objectives, the rate of change and the overall circumstances affecting the numerator, as well as the denominator, of the calculation.

IT Spending as a Percent of Revenue IT Spending as a Percent of Opera ng Expense IT spending as a percent of operating expense is another view of IT investment levels in terms of the role IT plays in overall business spending patterns. While revenue may be subject to external market based volatilities, business operational expense typically remains much more consistent and predictable year over year thus, it better reflects the overall business investment strategy. Typically, organizations with a greater level of IT investment relative to operating expense view IT as a strategic enabler, and this can improve business performance and productivity levels. IT Spending as a Percent of Operating Expense IT Spending per Employee Page 7 / 27

8 IT Spending per Employee IT spending per employee is often used to determine the amount of IT support the average organization's workforce receives. This measure helps to establish a link between IT investment and automation levels within the context of the workforce that supports revenue. Variations in this measure can represent niche industry specific delivery processes for service or product delivery, and, thus, should be viewed in conjunction with revenue and operating income per employee. Organizational staffing strategies and the use of contract employees can also impact this measure. An increase in IT spending per employee is often viewed as a negative trend. However, this may not always be the case, as a decrease in employees (or a lack of increase of additional employees when business improves) can result in a higher value, simply because there are a smaller number of employees that are divided into the same or increasing IT spending size. Therefore, the overall trend may have been impacted by continuing lower levels of general employment and the fact that, in many cases, organizations have returned to profitability, but have been reluctant to increase hiring. For information intensive enterprises, an increase in their figure for IT spending per employee may indicate a productivity improvement, due to automation or digitization. IT Spending per Employee (USD) Business Productivity Revenue per Employee Revenue per employee can help determine employee productivity in terms of revenue generation intensity. This measure is typically influenced by organizational business model and staffing strategy. Those enterprises that are highly labor intensive operations tend to generate a lesser amount of revenue per individual as compared to those enterprises who are highly automated. Effective and efficient uses of IT enable business processes to be streamlined, thus increase the level of employee productivity in terms of business results. While revenue may represent top line business results, it does not represent an organization s ability to generate income. This measure should be considered within the context of the enterprise operating model which drives operating income and profit margin as well as within the context of the total workforce strategy.

Revenue per Employee (USD) IT Budget Distributions: Uncover the Facts Up to this point, the figures have shown spending trends overall without distinguishing between the strategic, financial or operational categories that compose them. Through these categories, you can draw conclusions about critical investment areas, key investment themes and competitive spending levels. Centralized versus Decentralized IT Spending: Formal IT Budget, Business Unit IT and Shadow IT IT spending can come from a number of different sources within an enterprise or organization, and is not restricted to the formal IT Budget. Additional spending can occur within business unit budgets and be what is known as "shadow IT." The sources of IT spending are defined as follows: Formal IT Budget: IT spending that the IT department is accountable for. The IT department is answerable for the provision of these IT assets and services. Business Unit IT: IT spending where profit centers or overhead departments are accountable. For this category the IT department is consulted as a subject matter expert, and there is two way communication.. Shadow IT: IT spending anywhere in the enterprise for which the IT department is not accountable. For this category the IT department is aware of spending, but may not have detailed information about it. Amounts here may need to be estimated.. For the purposes of this metric the IT department is defined as the formal organization headed by the CIO/senior IT leader of the entity being analyzed. It also includes any IT organization reporting into them. Understanding how much IT spending occurs outside the formal IT budget allows organizations to gauge the true extent of their IT spending, and ensure for example that IT budget cost cutting exercises do not simply result in IT spending occurring elsewhere in the business. Getting the right mix of the formal IT budget, business unit IT and shadow IT can depend upon many factors, and needs to be appropriate for the circumstances of the individual organization. Shadow IT can occur because the business wants to move faster than the formal IT departments 2017 Gartner, Inc. and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

11 IT Operational vs. Capital Spending IT Spending Distribu on: Hardware, So ware, Personnel, Outsourcing The distribution of spending between hardware, software, personnel and outsourcing costs can show the dynamics of IT investments. For the purpose of this research, personnel includes occupancy/facilities costs and outsourcing includes public cloud services as well as third party network transmission expenses. This measure can be helpful in adding context to the IT investment strategy from a sourcing perspective, in terms of accounting based resources that may be insourced (e.g., IT hardware, software, personnel and occupancy/facilities costs) vs. services delivered by a third party (e.g., outsourced services, "X" as a Service (XaaS) and data/voice transmission costs). As an organization increases or decreases the level of third party/outsourced services, it may find an inverse effect in its associated personnel, hardware and/or software expenditures, depending on the scope of third party services retained and on business requirements. The cyclical nature of capital investments in IT hardware and software may also play a significant role in an organization's IT spending outlay during a given year. IT Spending Distribution: Hardware, Software, Personnel, Outsourcing Strategic IT Spending Categories: IT Spending to Run the business, IT Spending to Grow the business and IT Spending to Transform the business The distribution of IT spending to "run the business," "grow the business" and "transform the business" provides a view of the IT investment 2017 Gartner, Inc. and/or its affiliates.

In some industries, it is not uncommon to see a high "run" focus typically because organizations in the industry are not planning strong changes in business model growth or high organic growth which often translates into a more "cost center" role for IT in the industry or niche sector.

12 Strategic IT Spending Categories: IT Spending to Run the business, IT Spending to Grow the business and IT Spending to Transform the business The distribution of IT spending to "run the business," "grow the business" and "transform the business" provides a view of the IT investment profile or "portfolio" to support business performance. In some industries, it is not uncommon to see a high "run" focus typically because organizations in the industry are not planning strong changes in business model growth or high organic growth which often translates into a more "cost center" role for IT in the industry or niche sector. Classifying IT spending into categories that show impact on business outcomes or success can aid alignment and quantify underinvestment in IT. Gartner uses the following portfolio spending categories and defines them as follows: Run the business: This is an indicator of how much of the IT resource is consumed and focused on the continuing operation of the business. It includes all nondiscretionary expenses as part of the run the business cost. Some businesses call this "business as usual," "keep the lights on" IT spending, or sustain investments. Run expenses do not directly increase revenue, or achieve by themselves new or enhanced goals of the enterprise. Grow the business: This is an indicator of how much of the IT resource is consumed and focused on developing and enhancing IT systems in support of business growth (typically organic growth). Discretionary investments are more likely to be included in the grow the business or transform the business cost. Transform the business: This is an indicator of how much of the IT resource is consumed and focused on implementing technology systems that enable the enterprise to enact new business models. This is very much a "venture" category and would be represented by activities such as an insurer introducing usage based insurance products such as telematics or a supermarket combining real time analytic monitoring with in store task management to provide automated alerts to store staff to perform preemptive tasks. Gaps in business alignment can be found by examining IT spending as it relates to the day to day operations of a business (run), the organic growth of the business or productivity improvement (grow) and its support with new revenue creation from major business transformation, new products, services or business models (transform). A common misconception with this measure is that an IT initiative that may transform the IT organization, such as data center modernization or virtualization, should be classified as a "transform the business" investment. While these IT initiatives do transform the IT organization, they should primarily be classified as "run the business" investments because they support pre existing IT services. IT transformation often leads to new business process improvements that enable the business to grow or build new revenue streams therefore, these costs would need to be evaluated and distributed based on IT service and business performance. The run, grow and transform the business framework should always be viewed in business terms with respect to how IT will enable the business to grow or transform revenue, operating income and/or profit margins. Strategic IT Spending Portfolio: IT Spending to Run, Grow and Transform the Business IT Spending Determining the Business Context for Value As organizations leverage the run, grow and transform the business concepts at a macro level, Gartner has found it helpful to define various IT investments (and portions of investments) with the same basic framework to illustrate the projected impact at the individual IT initiative and project levels. Page 12 / 27 With a basic understanding of the framework, as outlined here, organizations can apply the decision tree to select the category that best describes business value for their IT initiatives.

13 Determining the Business Context for Value As organizations leverage the run, grow and transform the business concepts at a macro level, Gartner has found it helpful to define various IT investments (and portions of investments) with the same basic framework to illustrate the projected impact at the individual IT initiative and project levels. With a basic understanding of the framework, as outlined here, organizations can apply the decision tree to select the category that best describes business value for their IT initiatives. Strategic IT Spending : Decision Tree Source: Gartner 2017 The Link to Strategy The run, grow and transform the business framework is a starting point for the overall process of measuring, forecasting and communicating IT value. Gartner believes that the initial language and metrics used for business value are critical success factors in the organization's ability to make good IT investment decisions. For organizations that are looking for best practice, consider linking individual IT services to individual business process performances in a causal chain. For more information on run, grow and transform the business, see "Run, Grow and Transform the Business IT Spending: Approaches to Categorization and Interpretation."

14 The Link to Strategy The run, grow and transform the business framework is a starting point for the overall process of measuring, forecasting and communicating IT value. Gartner believes that the initial language and metrics used for business value are critical success factors in the organization's ability to make good IT investment decisions. For organizations that are looking for best practice, consider linking individual IT services to individual business process performances in a causal chain. For more information on run, grow and transform the business, see "Run, Grow and Transform the Business IT Spending: Approaches to Categorization and Interpretation." Distribu on of IT Spending, by IT Func onal Area The distribution of IT spending by IT functional area provides a view of key IT budget consumption in the context of investment into the overall IT portfolio to support those IT functional areas: Note: Gartner is asking that the Functional Area Distribution of IT Spending be calculated based as Cash Out (IT Operating Expenses plus IT Capital) rather than Accounting (IT Operating Expenses plus IT Depreciation).

Once Gartner has an appropriate amount of responses, the comparisons will be based on cash out The distribution of IT expenses into these categories helps to define the relative level of IT resources required to support the technology environment portfolio. This is often leveraged in tandem with IT resource planning exercises, wherein annual spending and staff resource allocations can be viewed in terms of investment in IT infrastructure (data center, end user computing, IT service desk, network) vs. applications (application development and application support) vs. IT overhead (IT management, IT finance and IT administration). While this measure is helpful in identifying relative volumes of IT resource consumption by IT functional area, as compared to industry, it does not aid in identifying whether resources are being leveraged in a cost effective or productive manner. Distribution of IT Spending, by IT Functional Area To better understand IT functional cost efficiency levels, Gartner recommends identifying which IT functional area is has the largest variance from the industry mean, then evaluate the individual IT functional annual costs compared with the workload supported, within the context of your service levels, complexity, demand and scale based on the model and metrics outlined in Gartner's various "IT Key Metrics Data: Key Infrastructure Measures" research outlined in the "IT Functional Area Framework" section of the Appendix. IT Portfolio Trends: Staffing As we have seen in preceding figures, internal staff typically represents more than one third of the overall IT investment, which demonstrates the considerable human component of the IT portfolio. As such, it is critical for organizations to understand whether they are staffed adequately, whether their human resources are effective and whether they are sufficiently trained and motivated to meet changing business needs. The following metrics provide a broad view of IT staffing levels as compared to the industry. Page 14 / 27 IT Full Time Equivalents (FTEs) as a Percent of Employees IT FTEs as a percent of employees is a key measure of IT support investment from a human capital perspective.

The following metrics provide a broad view of IT staffing levels as compared to the industry. IT Full Time Equivalents (FTEs) as a Percent of Employees IT FTEs as a percent of employees is a key measure of IT support investment from a human capital perspective. Understanding the relative level of IT staff dedicated to supporting the business can also assist in identifying whether the staff size is appropriate. This should be considered within the context of the overall enterprise sourcing strategy and future state objectives. Variables to consider in tandem with this metric include IT staffing distribution, contract vs. insourced FTEs, and IT outsourcing as a percent of IT spending, as well as the enterprise sourcing strategy (i.e., does the total employee count accurately represent the organization's workforce that is supported by IT? Do you have the ability to track the total number of internal users supported by IT? IT FTEs as a Percent of Employees Distribu on of IT FTEs: Insourced vs. Contractor The distribution of IT FTEs insourced vs. contractor can help provide a view of the IT staffing strategy. IT contract labor or contractor usage can be an effective approach to maintaining flexibility and agility when business conditions are changing. However, keeping contractors for extended periods can be costly and limit process standardization. Distribution of IT FTEs: Insourced vs. Contractor Page 15 / 27

IT contract labor or contractor usage can be an effective approach to maintaining flexibility and agility when business conditions are changing. However, keeping contractors for extended periods can be costly and limit process standardization. Distribution of IT FTEs: Insourced vs. Contractor Distribu on of IT Staff, by IT Func onal Area The distribution of IT staff by IT functional area provides a view of key IT resource consumption in the context of the overall IT portfolio. By viewing human resources (IT FTEs) within the context of the total portfolio, organizations are able to identify which environment is the most labor intensive as a percent of the IT labor pool. Typically, application activities (development and support) demand the most resources from a cost as well as a staffing perspective. The degree to which an organization outsources should be considered alongside such staffing metrics. To better understand IT functional area staff productivity levels, Gartner recommends evaluating individual IT functional staffing levels compared with the workload supported, within the context of service levels, complexity, demand and scale. For more information on productivity measures by IT functional area, see Gartner's various "IT Key Metrics Data: Key Infrastructure Measures" research (which is cited throughout this report).

Distribution of IT Staff, by IT Functional Area Next Steps: Shi the Focus to Business Op miza on Creation of the service portfolio is not the final endgame. After IT has created the service portfolio, it is important to demonstrate the value each service can bring to the business by creating a link to business metrics. In this diagram, we can see how each IT service contributes to improvement of a business outcome. CIOs and IT leaders should always keep this link in mind and talk in business outcomes rather than focusing only on IT costs and IT service levels. Cost management is important in that it helps to demonstrate the credibility of cost management by itself, however, it does very little to demonstrate business value. CIOs that can master running IT as a business stand a greater chance of being able to access greater budgets across the business. Once IT can become known in the business as having the ability to help contribute toward factors such as improving customer retention or operational efficiency, CIOs will be invited to contribute at a greater level toward helping shape business strategy. For more information, see "How to Shift the Focus From IT Cost Cutting to Business Optimization" and "Three Key Steps Are Needed to Show the Value of IT Services." Page 17 / 27

For more information, see "How to Shift the Focus From IT Cost Cutting to Business Optimization" and "Three Key Steps Are Needed to Show the Value of IT Services." Conclusions A successful IT performance measurement program communicates metrics that are important to a target audience. This remains true when communicating IT investments to the business. The metrics and benchmarks that Gartner has identified here provide a high level view of current trends in IT by industry. They also reveal trends in business alignment, staffing, technology and outsourcing. They can be used to assist in communicating alignment with the business and in evaluating targets in key technology areas. They provide context for key business decisions and internal performance measures. It is important to understand that the published averages are not targets, and decisions of "good" or "bad" performance should not be based on these metrics. They are indicative reference points from which to view current performance and investment levels to help you identify differences that could merit further analysis. Articulating why your organization is higher or lower than these metrics is the first step in better business alignment and the communication of IT's impact on business performance. For more detailed metrics focused on IT infrastructure cost and performance, consult Gartner's various "IT Key Metrics Data: Key Infrastructure Measures" research, which can help provide more insight into IT centric cost efficiency and productivity metrics. For more detailed metrics focused on IT application spending, staffing and project measures, consult Gartner's "IT Key Metrics Data: Key Applications Measures" research, which can help provide more insight into total application development vs. support metrics.
